FISCAL ANALYSIS



ASSUMPTION



Officials from the Department of Economic Development, Department of Public Safety - Missouri State Highway Patrol, and the Office of State Public Defender assume the proposed legislation would have no fiscal impact on their agencies.



Officials from the Office of State Courts Administrator assume the proposed legislation would have no fiscal impact on the courts.



Officials from the Office of Attorney General assume the costs of the proposed legislation could be absorbed within existing resources.



Officials from the Office of Prosecution Services assume prosecutors could absorb the costs of the proposed legislation within existing resources.



Officials from the Department of Corrections (DOC) assume they cannot predict the number of new commitments which may result from the creation of the offense(s) outlined in this proposal. An increase in commitments depends on the utilization by prosecutors and the actual sentences imposed by the court.



ASSUMPTION (continued)



If additional persons are sentenced to the custody of the DOC due to the provisions of this legislation, the DOC will incur a corresponding increase in operational cost through supervision provided by the Board of Probation and Parole (FY02 average of $3.10 per offender per day or an annual cost of $1,132 per offender).



In summary, supervision by the DOC through probation or incarceration would result in some additional costs, but it is assumed the impact would be $0 or a minimal amount that could be absorbed within existing resources.
